Problems solved by technology

(1) The first method is water injection and gas injection. This method is to deploy special injection wells around horizontal wells and inject media according to the designed amount. However, low-permeability horizontal wells are basically put into production by large-scale fracturing. , a large number of artificial fracture networks are distributed around the horizontal section, and the injected medium can easily enter the horizontal wellbore along the fractures, resulting in an increase in the water (gas) content of the horizontal well, and even problems such as water (gas) channeling and shutting down the well.
(2) Another method is to increase the energy of the formation through the general huff and puff (water or gas) of the horizontal well itself. This method can only supplement the pressure of the low-pressure interval, and it is difficult to meet the differential energy supplement demand caused by the contradiction between horizontal intervals. The pertinence is not strong, and this method has very limited improvement in the overall pressure and production of horizontal well formations
Since the opening degree (length) of fracturing in each horizontal section is different, the position of the isolation tool must be fixed when running the string, which will cause a gap between the opening degree (length) and the position of the packer (interval). Differences, resulting in multiple tripping strings, increasing the construction period and cost
This method has more complex tool strings, higher construction risks, high operation requirements, and high construction costs.
Therefore, there are still many problems in the technical method of enhancing oil recovery by increasing the formation energy of low-permeability horizontal wells

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas development, and relates to a construction tool and a method for improving the recovery rate of a horizontal well in a low-permeability oil reservoir. Background technique [0002] Horizontal wells are one of the key technologies for the development of low-permeability oil and gas fields at home and abroad. The number of horizontal wells is increasing year by year. However, with the continuous deepening of exploration and development of horizontal wells, the formation pressure of oil reservoirs gradually decreases, and the production of single wells decreases year by year. In order to solve this problem, major oil and gas fields have adopted various methods to increase formation pressure, such as water injection, gas injection, etc., but the effect is not obvious. Some horizontal wells have increased water content, channeling between injection wells and production wells, and even Flooding caus...
